My van, Fiat chassis, 2.3 multijet, is in the sick bay. Last week as we were heading off, not too far, the battery warning light came on, engine ran as normal. When we stopped I realised the idle speed had been increased by the engine management system to about 1250 rpm.
On checking the battery levels it was apparent the batteries had not been charging from the alternator, the solar panel was giving enough charge to keep things going. We were only 50 odd miles from home and made the return journey without incident or any change in the problem.
Took her along to our local Auto-Electrics workshop this morning and await the findings. More posts later.
